This is feel News I'm Joe Palca the number
one priority for mayor standpoint is the
00:00:06
health and safety of the
American people then Trump in
00:00:10
a rare official appearance before reporters
yesterday reassuring the country that
00:00:14
his plan fully embraces the challenges of
the spreading coronavirus governments are
00:00:19
ramping up measures to battle
00:00:21
a looming global pandemic as the number of
infections outside of China for the 1st
00:00:25
time surpassed those appearing inside the
country Australian Prime Minister Scott
00:00:30
Morrison initiated emergency measures
so why the. Is yet to declare.
00:00:39
The night of the virus
and its move towards
00:00:42
a pandemic phys. We
believe that the risk of
00:00:46
a global pandemic is very much
upon us and as a result as
00:00:51
a government we need to type the steps
necessary to prepare for such pandemic in
00:00:57
Washington a piece Sagar
McGonagall reports the c.d.c.
00:01:01
Says
00:01:01
a person in California has been infected
someone who does not appear to have traveled
00:01:05
abroad or been exposed to another patient
if confirmed it would be the 1st American
00:01:11
case of what's known as
community spread the c.d.c.
00:01:14
Announced the worrisome development minutes
after President Trump took to the White
00:01:18
House briefing room podium to minimize
fears that the virus will keep spreading I
00:01:23
don't think it's inevitable
I think that there's
00:01:25
a chance that it could get worse as the
chance to get fairly substantially worse
00:01:29
but nothing's inevitable he says there
is no reason to panic and that the
00:01:33
government's very very ready for
00:01:35
a potential outbreak standing alongside
health officials who urged Americans to be
00:01:40
prepared saga Megami Washington Turkey back
Syrian opposition fighters on Thursday
00:01:46
retouch
00:01:46
a key northwestern town in Syria that was
recently captured by government forces
00:01:51
they also cut the highway linking the
capital of Damascus this is video

a new. A gunman in Milwaukee Wisconsin
killed 5 people before killing
00:02:03
himself Wednesday at the most and corps
brewery Police identify the shooter is
00:02:08
a 51 year old male but we have withheld his
name in the names of his victims until
00:02:12
their families are notified Milwaukee
Police Chief Alfonso Barajas says the fatal
00:02:17
shooting at the brewery rocked the city so
terrible day. For more Gants and I pass
00:02:24
on my condolences to the families. Of the
employees of mill of the employees of
00:02:30
Miller and to the employees of Miller
or most of course Wisconsin lieutenant
00:02:36
governor Mandella Barnes we should accept
this this is not the way things should be
00:02:40
and we should never grow culpable in the
face of these repeated tragedies all
00:02:44
across America and especially right here
at home before Wednesday's shooting there
00:02:49
had been 3 mass killings nationwide in 2020
with 12 total victims the United States
00:02:56
and the Taliban will sign an agreement
on February the 29th at the end of
00:02:59
a planned weeklong reduction in violence
in Afghanistan storing fresh hopes for an
00:03:04
end to the protracted conflict
the agreement could represent
00:03:07
a chance for peace and a pull
out of thousands of u.s.
00:03:10
Troops that have been in
the country since u.s.
00:03:13
Led forces ousted the hardline
Islamist Taliban in 2001 this comes at
00:03:19
a time that Afghanistan's election body
declared incumbent Ashraf Ghani the winner
00:03:24
of
00:03:24
a disputed presidential election almost 5
months after voting took place in September
00:03:30
of 201965 years after 14 year
old Emmett Till was lynched in
00:03:36
Mississippi the u.s.
00:03:38
House of Representatives approved
a bill does it dated lynching as
00:03:41
a hate crime under federal law the A.P.'s
Ed Donahue reports the chair of the
00:03:46
Congressional Black Caucus Karen Bass
says make no mistake about it lynching is
00:03:51
terrorism lynchings were advertised in
newspapers as recreational events that
00:03:57
families would. They would have picnics
while they watched brutal murders take
00:04:02
place this bill was introduced by Illinois
Democrat Bobby Rush who says the country
00:04:07
is still being confronted with the same
violent racism and hatred that took the
00:04:11
life of Emmett Till and others in
white supremacist rallying showing.
00:04:18
All in
00:04:18
a racially motivated mass shooting and so
Rush says the bill will belatedly achieve
00:04:25
justice for sale and more than 4000 other
lynching victims Donoghue Washington
00:04:30
Colorado was set to become the 22nd u.s.
00:04:33
Day to abolish the death penalty lawmakers
gave final approval were billed to end
00:04:38
the practice Wednesday and the state's
governor said he's going to sign it Asian
00:04:41
and European markets fell again on
Thursday as Corona virus infection surged
00:04:46
outside of China.

you know Justin Timberlake has been
00:09:50
teasing us with pictures of him in the
studio with folk like Elizabeth Cohen
00:09:53
Anderson Pac and most recently producer
Max Martin So it's been 2 years. Since he
00:09:58
dropped man of the woods so I think he's
letting us know that he's going to have
00:10:03
something for us down the pike hopefully
sooner rather than later here is the

00:29:54
Facebook and Twitter at v.o.a.
00:29:57
Won the hits. Welcome to learning the
00:30:04
English daily 30 minute program from
the Voice of America Jonathan of it
00:30:11
and I'm Ashley Thompson this program is
aimed at English learners so we speak
00:30:17
a little slower and we use words and phrases
especially written for people learning
00:30:24
English. Today on the program
00:30:31
Ashley and I will bring you stories along
with Brian lead. Later we will present
00:30:37
our American history series The Making of
00:30:40
a nation but 1st. In the
United States some once loved
00:30:47
stores are trying to understand and
decreasing sales jewelry store
00:30:53
Tiffany and Company is an example
clothing store the gap and motorcycle
00:31:00
store Harley-Davidson are others.
These 3 are more than shopping
00:31:06
places they are brands public image
is strongly linked with an object or
00:31:13
person but today's younger Americans
in their twenty's and thirty's
00:31:20
are not as entrusted in buying things
from these brands as their parents were
00:31:27
instead
00:31:28
a store like Target has gained the attention
and money of many so-called Millennial
00:31:36
people who became adults in the
21st century target has been
00:31:42
around for more than 50 years
today it is the 8th largest
00:31:49
seller in the country one reason is
because it has changed its stores
00:31:56
for
00:31:56
a new generation of shoppers for
example it started offering more
00:32:03
natural foods and designer
clothing it also created
00:32:09
a showroom for the latest kinds
of things for the home target's
00:32:15
success shows that the in-store
experience remains important
00:32:22
while many Americans are shopping
on law in just 11 percent of retail
00:32:29
sales are done on the Internet
that means 89 percent of buying
00:32:36
is done in the traditional
way walking into
00:32:39
a store reports the United
States Department of Commerce
00:32:46
target was really stuck and all the sudden
it was able to again drive the growth
00:32:52
with millennial Zz says Jason
Dorsey He is president and
00:32:58
a millennial expert at the Center
for generational kinetics target
00:33:04
noticed that millennial shop differently
from their parents. Since they are the
00:33:11
country's largest living generation
they are important for retailers
00:33:18
they want new things not the old
brands they grew up knowing they also
00:33:25
wanted venture and experience is
finally they are very concerned with
00:33:32
bread and that feel authentic Dorsey
said what Millennial ZTE tell us
00:33:39
is that an authentic bread and has
00:33:41
a personality the brand
itself has values he added
00:33:48
that millennial also value
convenience millennial are
00:33:54
expected to be big spenders over
the next 10 years in that time
00:34:01
they will began to buy things for new
homes and to start having children
00:34:08
brands that fail to appeal to these
important young shoppers can quickly find
00:34:14
themselves in trouble millennia old
will not buy old brands that they think
00:34:21
don't really understand or
get them Dorsey says he says
00:34:27
retailers that sell items that seem
to be special are likely to do well
00:34:35
and contrast millennia old have not shown
much interest in the costly jewelry sold
00:34:42
by Tiffany the 200 year old
brand is now being sold to
00:34:48
a French company at Harley Davidson
sales of motorcycles have been
00:34:55
decreasing since 2014 the brand
once represented freedom and
00:35:02
the possibilities of the open
road now young people want to use
00:35:09
ride to share in companies to move
around. And most young people today do
00:35:15
not shop at the Gap whose clothes
were once so common they looked like
00:35:22
a uniform for Americans in their
twenty's you know millennia olds are the
00:35:28
most photographed generation of
adults in history Dorsey said in
00:35:35
those photographs they want to send
00:35:38
a message Dorsey explained they want
to show that they buy from stores that
00:35:45
treat people well and are
good for the environment.
00:36:16
Up to La Mohamed would do anything
to make his daughter happy that
00:36:22
includes forcing himself to laugh
with her when they hear bombs
00:36:29
explode the game helps ease
the young girl's fears
00:36:37
and it lived that means there is
00:36:40
a lot of laughter it labor
province in northwestern Syria
00:36:47
is the last opposition held
territory in the country it has
00:36:54
been at the center of
00:36:56
a military campaign by Syrian
government troops since early December
00:37:03
the Russian military is providing support
to the government offensive more than
00:37:10
900000 civilians have been forced
from their homes since the end of
00:37:17
2019. Many now live in
temporary shelters and in
00:37:23
open fields near the Turkish
border as the troops neared
00:37:30
Mohammed's hometown of Saddam
2 months ago he fled with his
00:37:37
wife and daughter to the town of
Samarra they are now staying in
00:37:43
a house there offered to him by
00:37:46
a friend Mohamed and his 3
year old daughter Salma have
00:37:53
become Internet celebrities after of
00:37:57
a video they recorded was shared
widely on social media in the
00:38:03
video so is wearing a pink
dress as she stands on
00:38:09
a sofa next to her father
Mohammad asks his daughter
00:38:16
is that a plane or a shell
00:38:19
a shell she answers and when
it falls we will laugh as the
00:38:26
sound of the explosion can be heard in
the distance the little girl bursts into
00:38:32
laughter her father laughs with
her Hammad said he thought
00:38:39
up the game to help his daughter
deal with her fear saw what had been
00:38:46
hearing bombs all her life as
00:38:49
a baby there was no fear but
that changed after her 1st year
00:38:56
one day the family was at home in such
00:39:00
a cab touring feature the holiday
that marks the end of the Muslim holy
00:39:06
month of Ramadan children outside
were celebrating with fireworks
00:39:13
and
00:39:14
a big one exploded near the
family's home. She was frightened
00:39:21
but I took her out and showed her that
children were playing and laughing Mohammed
00:39:27
said that was how he got the idea
to connect the sound of bombs with
00:39:34
laughter and children playing and to
film himself laughing with his daughter
00:39:41
every time war planes hit
Mohammad said Now every time they
00:39:47
hear warplanes or artillery shells saw
turns to him and waits for his reaction
00:39:56
he pulls out his cell phone to record
00:39:59
a video as the 2 wait to hear
the loud noise. Than they laugh
00:40:08
on
00:40:08
a recent day Mohammad sat and watched
as she played with her toys he
00:40:15
said the war has destroyed the hopes
and dreams of his generation and those
00:40:22
of their children the most I hope
for is to stay alive along with
00:40:29
my daughter and everyone else he said
We forgot about the bigger hopes they
00:40:36
don't exist anymore.
00:41:05
Scientists say they used new measuring
methods to confirm that cloud
00:41:12
seeding can produce snow fall
under the right conditions.
00:41:19
Researchers used radar and other
instruments to measure snowfall levels
00:41:26
during experiments carried out in
2017 in the American state of Idaho
00:41:35
the experiments involved scientists from
several American universities as well
00:41:42
as the u.s.
00:41:43
National Center for
Atmospheric Research or n c a
00:41:48
r
00:41:50
a study reporting the results was recently
published in Proceedings of the National
00:41:56
Academy of Sciences cloud seeding
has been tested in parts of the
00:42:03
United States since the 1940 s.
00:42:07
It involves injecting various
substances into clouds to produce
00:42:13
precipitation rain snow or
ice that falls to the ground
00:42:20
the process can cause ice to form and
build up inside the clouds until it falls
00:42:29
some Western u.s.
00:42:30
States including Idaho and Colorado
have increased cloud seeding in recent
00:42:37
years to help meet
00:42:39
a growing water demand until now
however it has been difficult
00:42:45
for scientists to measure the
effectiveness of the process
00:42:52
researchers have mainly used instruments
to compare the amount of precipitation
00:42:59
from seeded clouds to similar clouds
that were not seeded but such
00:43:05
studies have brought mixed results
this is partly because many elements
00:43:12
influence natural precipitation which
makes it hard to narrow down exact
00:43:18
cause and effect results.
The research operation over
00:43:25
western Idaho was called Snowie it
involved shooting small amounts of
00:43:32
a chemical compound called silver
iodide from an airplane into clouds
00:43:39
the chemical can cause water in the clouds
to freeze into ice and then fall as
00:43:45
a novel in the new experiments the
scientists used radar equipment
00:43:52
together with precipitation measuring
instruments to collect data the
00:43:59
use of airborne and ground based radar
permitted the team to observe the entire
00:44:06
process and compare the side by
side seated and unseeded areas
00:44:13
the n.c.a.r.
00:44:15
Said in
00:44:15
a statement in at least 3
cases the seeding measurably
00:44:22
boosted the snowfall across the
targeted watershed the statement said
00:44:29
in some areas the cloud seeding created new
snowfall where no natural snow existed
00:44:37
one cloud seeding flight resulted in
precipitation that produced snowfall for about
00:44:43
67 minutes the researchers
estimated the 3 cases
00:44:50
described in the study produced
00:44:53
a combined precipitation total
that could fill about 285
00:44:58
a lympics sized swimming pools The
researchers also used computer
00:45:05
modeling to study precipitation measurements
during simulated weather activity the
00:45:12
scientists say they hope to use the real
results from the new experiments to
00:45:18
improve future computer modeling
predictions. Brian Lynn.
00:45:38
Welcome to the making of a nation
American history in v.o.a.
00:45:45
Special English. The stock
market crash of 1929
00:45:51
began
00:45:52
a long and difficult period for the
United States President Herbert Hoover
00:45:59
struggled to find solutions as the nation
sank into the worst economic crisis
00:46:06
and its history but the Great Depression
was not the only problem demanding
00:46:13
answers from Hoover the
president also had to deal with
00:46:18
a number of foreign policy issues
I Mario writter with Chris Cruz
00:46:25
we look at how the great depression affected
relations between the United States
00:46:32
and other countries my father tell.
00:46:41
Us and. Says son when I.
00:46:49
Don't forget to bring down.
00:46:57
The tide. Or you. Know.
00:47:08
There were revolutions in
South America Japan launched
00:47:13
a campaign of aggression in northeastern
China and the economic situation in
00:47:20
America created serious problems
in relations with Europe. Hoover
00:47:26
succeeded in some areas of his foreign
policy but he failed to solve
00:47:33
America's economic troubles and
like most Americans he failed
00:47:40
to recognize the importance of political
changes taking place in Japan and Germany
00:47:48
Herbert Hoover's foreign policy was marked
by his desire to make friends and avoid
00:47:55
war like most Americans the new
president had been shocked by World War
00:48:02
One Hoover had seen the results of
that terrible war with his own eyes.
00:48:10
He led the international effort to feed
the many European victims of the fighting
00:48:17
the new president was also a Quaker
00:48:21
a member of the Religious Society
of Friends Quakers oppose war
00:48:29
Hoover shared the wish of most Americans
that the world would never again fight
00:48:34
a major war to him the bloody
bodies at fair done the Marne
00:48:41
and the other battlefields of World War
One showed the need to seek peace through
00:48:48
negotiations Hoover worked toward
this goal even before he entered the
00:48:55
White House following his election he
had several months before becoming
00:49:01
President Hoover used this time
to travel to Latin America for 10
00:49:08
weeks he wanted to show Latin American
nations but they could trust the United
00:49:15
States to honor their rights
as independent nations Hoover
00:49:22
kept his word. The year after he took
office his administrator announced
00:49:29
that it would recognize the governments
of all Latin American countries including
00:49:35
governments but the United States did
not like Hoover told the American
00:49:42
people that he would not follow the Latin
American policies of President Theodore
00:49:49
Roosevelt Teddy Roosevelt decided
in 100004 that the United
00:49:55
States had no right to intervene in
Latin America if it disagreed with the
00:50:02
actions of governments there Hoover
said this was wrong he told the country
00:50:09
that it was more important to use
friendship than to use force.
00:50:27
Hoover with the true American forces from
Nicaragua he also arranged to withdraw
00:50:33
them from Haiti and he showed restraint
as some 50 revolutions shook the
00:50:40
nations of Latin America some revolutionary
governments oppose the United
00:50:47
States they refused to pay debts to
American companies or they claimed
00:50:53
ownership of foreign property but Hoover
refused to advance American interests
00:51:00
by force he wanted to prove that the
United States could treat Latin American
00:51:07
nations as equals that
policy was quite successful
00:51:15
relations between the United States and
Latin American countries generally improved
00:51:21
under Herbert Hoover's leadership. The
situation in Europe was much more
00:51:28
difficult and much more serious for the
United States the problem was simple
00:51:34
money the Great Depression did
not stop at America's borders
00:51:41
it moved to Britain Europe and beyond
and it brought it stream Lee hard
00:51:48
economic conditions in Germany the
value of the national currency
00:51:55
collapsed inflation forced people to
buy goods with hundreds thousands
00:52:02
even millions of German marks they lost
faith in the system and they looked
00:52:09
for some new leader to provide
solutions the economic crisis
00:52:16
also put great pressure on the international
circle of debt that had been created
00:52:23
after the war suddenly American
bankers could no longer make
00:52:30
loans to Germany this meant that Germany
could not pay back war debts to France
00:52:37
and the other allied nations in
the War to End All Wars. And
00:52:43
without this money the allied nations could
not repay money that they owed American
00:52:50
banks the circle of debt fell
apart wise you would I began
00:52:57

The. Ones I feel the rail rule I made it.
00:53:14
Made it rain again hard. On the railroad.
00:53:22
Now it's the. Brother. Kenny.
00:53:30
The situation grew worse and worse
throughout the early months of 1930
00:53:37
Hoover finally had to announce that all
nations could delay their Dec payments to
00:53:44
the United States for one year Hoover's
actions did what he wanted it to
00:53:51
it put
00:53:52
a temporary stop to the international
debt crisis but it caused great damage to
00:53:59
private banks people lost faith
in the banking system throughout
00:54:06
Europe people withdrew
their money from banks as
00:54:10
a result the European banks
could not repaid more than
00:54:15
a $1000000000.00 that they had
borrowed from private American banks
00:54:22
this was not the only problem nations
throughout Europe were also forced to take
00:54:29
their currencies off the gold standard
basement their money no longer could be
00:54:35
exchanged for gold. The economic
situation grew worse and as
00:54:42
it did serious political tensions
began to threaten peace in Asia and
00:54:49
Europe the threat in Asia became clear 1st
00:54:56
Japan had defeated Russia in
00:54:58
a war in 100005 this victory
gave Japan control over the
00:55:05
economy of the southern part of what was
then called Manchuria in northeastern
00:55:12
China as years passed Japan began
to feel threatened by 2 forces
00:55:19
1st Chinese leaders Shanghai shek was
trying to organize all of China under the
00:55:26
control of his nationalist
forces 2nd Russia was
00:55:33
extending the Chinese Eastern Railway to
the Russian port city of light of Austar
00:55:41
Japan's army took control of the
government in Tokyo in late 19 $131.00
00:55:49
the Army was fearful of the growing
threat to Japan's control of Manchuria so
00:55:56
it moved Japanese troops immediately
into several Manchurian cities and it
00:56:03
claimed political control of the
whole area President Hoover and most
00:56:09
Americans strongly opposed Japan's aggression
but they were not willing to take any
00:56:16
action that might lead
to another world war.
00:56:33
Japan's military leaders knew that the
people of Europe and America had no
00:56:40
desire to fight to protect
China and so but Japanese army
00:56:46
marched on it invaded the huge city
of Shanghai killing thousands of
00:56:53
civilians Western leaders condemned
the action American Secretary of
00:57:00
State Henry Stimson said the United
States would not recognize Japanese
00:57:06
control in these areas of
China but again Hoover
00:57:13
refused to consider any economic actions
against the Japanese and he strongly
00:57:20
opposed taking any military
action the League of Nations also
00:57:26
refused to recognize Japan's takeover
it called Japan the aggressor in
00:57:33
Manchuria Japan reacted simply
it withdrew from the League of
00:57:39
Nations most Americans were not
happy about Japan's aggression
00:57:46
but they were not willing to fight force
with force this was less true however for
00:57:53
secretary of state Stimson Stimson was
00:57:57
a follower of the old ideas of President
Theodore Roosevelt he believed
00:58:04
a nation could only have
00:58:05
a strong foreign policy by being strong
and using its military power in times
00:58:12
of crisis but Stimson's
voice was in the minority
00:58:19
most Americans did not believe Japan
really threaten the security of the United
00:58:25
States and they were not ready to risk
their lives to help people in China.
00:58:32
Opinions changed only after Japanese
planes attacked the American naval base at
00:58:39
Pearl Harbor Hawaii in
December of 1941 the
00:58:46
same story was true in Europe but France
was worried about the rising power of the
00:58:53
Nazis in Germany and the
fascists in Italy and Spain
00:58:59
France proposed the creation of an eater
national army Hoover opposed that
00:59:06
idea he called for all nations
to reduce their weapons he
00:59:13
believed that negotiation not force
was the way to solve the problem
00:59:20
but the new leaders in Germany and Japan
would listen much more closely to the boot
00:59:27
steps of marching troops then
to the high words of peace.

Ed Donahue reports the chair of the

says make no mistake about it lynching is
00:03:51
terrorism lynchings were advertised in
newspapers as recreational events that
00:03:57
families would. They would have picnics
while they watched brutal murders take
00:04:02
place this bill was introduced by Illinois
Democrat Bobby Rush who says the country
00:04:07
is still being confronted with the same
violent racism and hatred that took the
00:04:11
life of Emmett Till and others in
white supremacist rallying showing.
00:04:18
All in

Won the hits. Welcome to learning the
00:30:04
English daily 30 minute program from
the Voice of America Jonathan of it
00:30:11
and I'm Ashley Thompson this program is
aimed at English learners so we speak
00:30:17
a little slower and we use words and phrases
especially written for people learning
00:30:24
English. Today on the program
00:30:31
Ashley and I will bring you stories along
with Brian lead. Later we will present
00:30:37
our American history series The Making of
00:30:40
a nation but 1st. In the
United States some once loved
00:30:47
stores are trying to understand and
decreasing sales jewelry store
00:30:53
Tiffany and Company is an example
clothing store the gap and motorcycle
00:31:00
store Harley-Davidson are others.
These 3 are more than shopping
00:31:06
places they are brands public image
is strongly linked with an object or
00:31:13
person but today's younger Americans
in their twenty's and thirty's
00:31:20
are not as entrusted in buying things
from these brands as their parents were
00:31:27
instead
00:31:28
a store like Target has gained the attention
and money of many so-called Millennial
00:31:36
people who became adults in the
21st century target has been
00:31:42
around for more than 50 years
today it is the 8th largest
00:31:49
seller in the country one reason is
because it has changed its stores
00:31:56
for
00:31:56
a new generation of shoppers for
example it started offering more
00:32:03
natural foods and designer
clothing it also created
00:32:09
a showroom for the latest kinds
of things for the home target's
00:32:15
success shows that the in-store
experience remains important
00:32:22
while many Americans are shopping
on law in just 11 percent of retail
00:32:29
sales are done on the Internet
that means 89 percent of buying
00:32:36
is done in the traditional
way walking into
00:32:39
a store reports the United
States Department of Commerce
00:32:46
target was really stuck and all the sudden
it was able to again drive the growth
00:32:52
with millennial Zz says Jason
Dorsey He is president and
00:32:58
a millennial expert at the Center
for generational kinetics target
00:33:04
noticed that millennial shop differently
from their parents. Since they are the
00:33:11
country's largest living generation
they are important for retailers
00:33:18
they want new things not the old
brands they grew up knowing they also
00:33:25
wanted venture and experience is
finally they are very concerned with
00:33:32
bread and that feel authentic Dorsey
said what Millennial ZTE tell us
00:33:39
is that an authentic bread and has
00:33:41
a personality the brand
itself has values he added
00:33:48
that millennial also value
convenience millennial are
00:33:54
expected to be big spenders over
the next 10 years in that time
00:34:01
they will began to buy things for new
homes and to start having children
00:34:08
brands that fail to appeal to these
important young shoppers can quickly find
00:34:14
themselves in trouble millennia old
will not buy old brands that they think
00:34:21
don't really understand or
get them Dorsey says he says
00:34:27
retailers that sell items that seem
to be special are likely to do well
00:34:35
and contrast millennia old have not shown
much interest in the costly jewelry sold
00:34:42
by Tiffany the 200 year old
brand is now being sold to
00:34:48
a French company at Harley Davidson
sales of motorcycles have been
00:34:55
decreasing since 2014 the brand
once represented freedom and
00:35:02
the possibilities of the open
road now young people want to use
00:35:09
ride to share in companies to move
around. And most young people today do
00:35:15
not shop at the Gap whose clothes
were once so common they looked like
00:35:22
a uniform for Americans in their
twenty's you know millennia olds are the
00:35:28
most photographed generation of
adults in history Dorsey said in
00:35:35
those photographs they want to send
00:35:38
a message Dorsey explained they want
to show that they buy from stores that
00:35:45
treat people well and are
good for the environment.

00:38:03
video so is wearing a pink
dress as she stands on
00:38:09
a sofa next to her father
Mohammad asks his daughter
00:38:16
is that a plane or a shell
00:38:19
a shell she answers and when
it falls we will laugh as the
00:38:26
sound of the explosion can be heard in
the distance the little girl bursts into
00:38:32
laughter her father laughs with
her Hammad said he thought
00:38:39
up the game to help his daughter
deal with her fear saw what had been
00:38:46
hearing bombs all her life as
00:38:49
a baby there was no fear but
that changed after her 1st year
00:38:56
one day the family was at home in such
00:39:00
a cab touring feature the holiday
that marks the end of the Muslim holy
00:39:06
month of Ramadan children outside
were celebrating with fireworks
00:39:13
and
00:39:14
a big one exploded near the
family's home. She was frightened
00:39:21
but I took her out and showed her that
children were playing and laughing Mohammed
00:39:27
said that was how he got the idea
to connect the sound of bombs with
00:39:34
laughter and children playing and to
film himself laughing with his daughter
00:39:41
every time war planes hit
Mohammad said Now every time they
00:39:47
hear warplanes or artillery shells saw
turns to him and waits for his reaction
00:39:56
he pulls out his cell phone to record
00:39:59
a video as the 2 wait to hear
the loud noise. Than they laugh
00:40:08
on
00:40:08
a recent day Mohammad sat and watched
as she played with her toys he
00:40:15
said the war has destroyed the hopes
and dreams of his generation and those
00:40:22
of their children the most I hope
for is to stay alive along with
00:40:29
my daughter and everyone else he said
We forgot about the bigger hopes they
00:40:36
don't exist anymore.
00:41:05
Scientists say they used new measuring
methods to confirm that cloud
00:41:12
seeding can produce snow fall
under the right conditions.
00:41:19
Researchers used radar and other
instruments to measure snowfall levels
00:41:26
during experiments carried out in
2017 in the American state of Idaho
00:41:35
the experiments involved scientists from
several American universities as well
00:41:42
as the u.s.
00:41:43
National Center for
Atmospheric Research or n c a
00:41:48
r
00:41:50
a study reporting the results was recently
published in Proceedings of the National
00:41:56
Academy of Sciences cloud seeding
has been tested in parts of the
00:42:03
United States since the 1940 s.
00:42:07
It involves injecting various
substances into clouds to produce
00:42:13
precipitation rain snow or
ice that falls to the ground
00:42:20
the process can cause ice to form and
build up inside the clouds until it falls
00:42:29
some Western u.s.
00:42:30
States including Idaho and Colorado
have increased cloud seeding in recent
00:42:37
years to help meet
00:42:39
a growing water demand until now
however it has been difficult
00:42:45
for scientists to measure the
effectiveness of the process
00:42:52
researchers have mainly used instruments
to compare the amount of precipitation
00:42:59
from seeded clouds to similar clouds
that were not seeded but such
00:43:05
studies have brought mixed results
this is partly because many elements
00:43:12
influence natural precipitation which
makes it hard to narrow down exact
00:43:18
cause and effect results.
The research operation over
00:43:25
western Idaho was called Snowie it
involved shooting small amounts of
00:43:32
a chemical compound called silver
iodide from an airplane into clouds
00:43:39
the chemical can cause water in the clouds
to freeze into ice and then fall as
00:43:45
a novel in the new experiments the
scientists used radar equipment
00:43:52
together with precipitation measuring
instruments to collect data the
00:43:59
use of airborne and ground based radar
permitted the team to observe the entire
00:44:06
process and compare the side by
side seated and unseeded areas
00:44:13
the n.c.a.r.
00:44:15
Said in
00:44:15
a statement in at least 3
cases the seeding measurably
00:44:22
boosted the snowfall across the
targeted watershed the statement said
00:44:29
in some areas the cloud seeding created new
snowfall where no natural snow existed
00:44:37
one cloud seeding flight resulted in
precipitation that produced snowfall for about
00:44:43
67 minutes the researchers
estimated the 3 cases
00:44:50
described in the study produced
00:44:53
a combined precipitation total
that could fill about 285
00:44:58
a lympics sized swimming pools The
researchers also used computer
00:45:05
modeling to study precipitation measurements
during simulated weather activity the
00:45:12
scientists say they hope to use the real
results from the new experiments to
00:45:18
improve future computer modeling
predictions. Brian Lynn.
00:45:38
Welcome to the making of a nation
American history in v.o.a.
00:45:45
Special English. The stock
market crash of 1929
00:45:51
began
00:45:52
a long and difficult period for the
United States President Herbert Hoover
00:45:59
struggled to find solutions as the nation
sank into the worst economic crisis
00:46:06
and its history but the Great Depression
was not the only problem demanding
00:46:13
answers from Hoover the
president also had to deal with
00:46:18
a number of foreign policy issues
I Mario writter with Chris Cruz
00:46:25
we look at how the great depression affected
relations between the United States
00:46:32
and other countries my father tell.
00:46:41
Us and. Says son when I.
00:46:49
Don't forget to bring down.
00:46:57
The tide. Or you. Know.
00:47:08
There were revolutions in
South America Japan launched
00:47:13
a campaign of aggression in northeastern
China and the economic situation in
00:47:20
America created serious problems
in relations with Europe. Hoover
00:47:26
succeeded in some areas of his foreign
policy but he failed to solve
00:47:33
America's economic troubles and
like most Americans he failed
00:47:40
to recognize the importance of political
changes taking place in Japan and Germany
00:47:48
Herbert Hoover's foreign policy was marked
by his desire to make friends and avoid
00:47:55
war like most Americans the new
president had been shocked by World War
00:48:02
One Hoover had seen the results of
that terrible war with his own eyes.
00:48:10
He led the international effort to feed
the many European victims of the fighting
00:48:17
the new president was also a Quaker
00:48:21
a member of the Religious Society
of Friends Quakers oppose war
00:48:29
Hoover shared the wish of most Americans
that the world would never again fight
00:48:34
a major war to him the bloody
bodies at fair done the Marne
00:48:41
and the other battlefields of World War
One showed the need to seek peace through
00:48:48
negotiations Hoover worked toward
this goal even before he entered the
00:48:55
White House following his election he
had several months before becoming
00:49:01
President Hoover used this time
to travel to Latin America for 10
00:49:08
weeks he wanted to show Latin American
nations but they could trust the United
00:49:15
States to honor their rights
as independent nations Hoover
00:49:22
kept his word. The year after he took
office his administrator announced
00:49:29
that it would recognize the governments
of all Latin American countries including
00:49:35
governments but the United States did
not like Hoover told the American
00:49:42
people that he would not follow the Latin
American policies of President Theodore
00:49:49
Roosevelt Teddy Roosevelt decided
in 100004 that the United
00:49:55
States had no right to intervene in
Latin America if it disagreed with the
00:50:02
actions of governments there Hoover
said this was wrong he told the country
00:50:09
that it was more important to use
friendship than to use force.
00:50:27
Hoover with the true American forces from
Nicaragua he also arranged to withdraw
00:50:33
them from Haiti and he showed restraint
as some 50 revolutions shook the
00:50:40
nations of Latin America some revolutionary
governments oppose the United
00:50:47
States they refused to pay debts to
American companies or they claimed
00:50:53
ownership of foreign property but Hoover
refused to advance American interests
00:51:00
by force he wanted to prove that the
United States could treat Latin American
00:51:07
nations as equals that
policy was quite successful
00:51:15
relations between the United States and
Latin American countries generally improved
00:51:21
under Herbert Hoover's leadership. The
situation in Europe was much more
00:51:28
difficult and much more serious for the
United States the problem was simple
00:51:34
money the Great Depression did
not stop at America's borders
00:51:41
it moved to Britain Europe and beyond
and it brought it stream Lee hard
00:51:48
economic conditions in Germany the
value of the national currency
00:51:55
collapsed inflation forced people to
buy goods with hundreds thousands
00:52:02
even millions of German marks they lost
faith in the system and they looked
00:52:09
for some new leader to provide
solutions the economic crisis
00:52:16
also put great pressure on the international
circle of debt that had been created
00:52:23
after the war suddenly American
bankers could no longer make
00:52:30
loans to Germany this meant that Germany
could not pay back war debts to France
00:52:37
and the other allied nations in
the War to End All Wars. And
00:52:43
without this money the allied nations could
not repay money that they owed American
00:52:50
banks the circle of debt fell
apart wise you would I began
00:52:57
standing in Los. Your home will be.
00:53:05
The. Ones I feel the rail rule I made it.
00:53:14
Made it rain again hard. On the railroad.
00:53:22
Now it's the. Brother. Kenny.
00:53:30
The situation grew worse and worse
throughout the early months of 1930
00:53:37
Hoover finally had to announce that all
nations could delay their Dec payments to
00:53:44
the United States for one year Hoover's
actions did what he wanted it to
00:53:51
it put
00:53:52
a temporary stop to the international
debt crisis but it caused great damage to
00:53:59
private banks people lost faith
in the banking system throughout
00:54:06
Europe people withdrew
their money from banks as
00:54:10
a result the European banks
could not repaid more than
00:54:15
a $1000000000.00 that they had
borrowed from private American banks
00:54:22
this was not the only problem nations
throughout Europe were also forced to take
00:54:29
their currencies off the gold standard
basement their money no longer could be
00:54:35
exchanged for gold. The economic
situation grew worse and as
00:54:42
it did serious political tensions
began to threaten peace in Asia and
00:54:49
Europe the threat in Asia became clear 1st
00:54:56
Japan had defeated Russia in
00:54:58
a war in 100005 this victory
gave Japan control over the
00:55:05
economy of the southern part of what was
then called Manchuria in northeastern
00:55:12
China as years passed Japan began
to feel threatened by 2 forces
00:55:19
1st Chinese leaders Shanghai shek was
trying to organize all of China under the
00:55:26
control of his nationalist
forces 2nd Russia was
00:55:33
extending the Chinese Eastern Railway to
the Russian port city of light of Austar
00:55:41
Japan's army took control of the
government in Tokyo in late 19 $131.00
00:55:49
the Army was fearful of the growing
threat to Japan's control of Manchuria so
00:55:56
it moved Japanese troops immediately
into several Manchurian cities and it
00:56:03
claimed political control of the
whole area President Hoover and most
00:56:09
Americans strongly opposed Japan's aggression
but they were not willing to take any
00:56:16
action that might lead
to another world war.
00:56:33
Japan's military leaders knew that the
people of Europe and America had no
00:56:40
desire to fight to protect
China and so but Japanese army
00:56:46
marched on it invaded the huge city
of Shanghai killing thousands of
00:56:53
civilians Western leaders condemned
the action American Secretary of
00:57:00
State Henry Stimson said the United
States would not recognize Japanese
00:57:06
control in these areas of
China but again Hoover
00:57:13
refused to consider any economic actions
against the Japanese and he strongly
00:57:20
opposed taking any military
action the League of Nations also
00:57:26
refused to recognize Japan's takeover
it called Japan the aggressor in
00:57:33
Manchuria Japan reacted simply
it withdrew from the League of
00:57:39
Nations most Americans were not
happy about Japan's aggression
00:57:46
but they were not willing to fight force
with force this was less true however for
00:57:53
secretary of state Stimson Stimson was
00:57:57
a follower of the old ideas of President
Theodore Roosevelt he believed
00:58:04
a nation could only have
00:58:05
a strong foreign policy by being strong
and using its military power in times
00:58:12
of crisis but Stimson's
voice was in the minority
00:58:19
most Americans did not believe Japan
really threaten the security of the United
00:58:25
States and they were not ready to risk
their lives to help people in China.
00:58:32
Opinions changed only after Japanese
planes attacked the American naval base at
00:58:39
Pearl Harbor Hawaii in
December of 1941 the
00:58:46
same story was true in Europe but France
was worried about the rising power of the
00:58:53
Nazis in Germany and the
fascists in Italy and Spain
00:58:59
France proposed the creation of an eater
national army Hoover opposed that
00:59:06
idea he called for all nations
to reduce their weapons he
00:59:13
believed that negotiation not force
was the way to solve the problem
00:59:20
but the new leaders in Germany and Japan
would listen much more closely to the boot
00:59:27
steps of marching troops then
to the high words of peace.
